In reference to Jeff asking about drops in the destiny Alpha i found they dropped at a decent rate whether that will change for beta and final release i don't know but in the Alpha it felt fine.

It's always great to hear some Giancarlo Varanini.

There were a lot of moments where I had him and Alexis confused..

Extra time in football(soccer) is basically used to make up for a stop in play. It could be because of a foul, someone got hurt, etc. So at the end of the half (45min) or game (90min) a few mins are added.

@dvdwalker8: On his tumblr Jeff said the only reason someone else wasn't on the ad was because he forgot about it and had to do it last minute on his own

Quick note, at the moment on PSN there is never really a "start download at midnight situation" because the store updates day of release around 2 PM. There's not even a "start download before you go to work" situation because of that.

Preloading would be a godsend if they actually did it across the board.

"Going to the pub to watch football" is correct.

"Going to the bar to watch soccer" is still wrong, but only because you're american :)

"Going to the pub to watch soccer" is completely wrong, mixing and matching terms so it's wrong from both ends

I was talking to some girl at a party and she mentioned how she forgot something in "her flat."

We're both in/from Boston.

I felt unreasonably angry.

Tried the double down thing at KFC & highly unrecommended, at KFC if getting chicken stick with the sandwiches or the simple things as that double thing is just not tasty.

FYI, the etymology of "soccer" is from England as an abbreviation of "association," as in "association football."

I don't know what a Telenovela looks like tbh.

Also they add time to the FIFA cause the clock never stops (outside of halftime) and so the 1, 2, or 3 minutes (more than that is pretty silly) added make up for time wastes during fouls and other various times the play is stopped during the game. I believe it is determined by the Referee.

@smcn: FYI, regardless of the etymology of the word, "soccer" is what Americans call football. Doesn't matter where the term originates, since Americans call it soccer and everyone else says football.

On Shenmue - "As a Yu Suzuki fan, that game wasn't good. Play Soul Calibur or Powerstone instead". Wow what a great guest o_O

Not that I really give a shit, but it is a slight rewording of what you said. The exact quote is, "I'm like one of the...one of of the world's biggest Yu Suzuki fans, and I did not like Shenmue, and that is part your problem. That game is just not...is not good." You then went on to suggest playing Soul Calibur all the time, as well as power stone.

Again, I really don't care since I don't give a shit about Shenmue, but you don't have much of a reason to respond with bafflement as if the person you're responding to was putting words in your mouth.

Pointless semantics and sarcastic rhetorical questions aside, thanks for taking time to sit down for the bombcast. I enjoyed it.
